What is your question?
My 2008 Lexus RX 400H is having intermittent Check Engine Light on / off every other day or so. Seems to happen in the afternoons when temperature is really hot outside. In the morning, its off and seems to not be a problem. Dealership said they'd have problem finding the issue if its not on when I bring it in. Trying to decide what to do.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Seems to be better in mornings and/or engine is cold - not as hot outside
How long has your 2008 Lexus RX400h had this problem?
Just started a few weeks ago

Hello, I disagree with the dealership. A check engine light will most likely set a diagnostic trouble code that can be traced - even from a "memory" historical occurrence, and give some data as to where to start looking. Since it happens frequently enough, a repair shop should even be able to drive the vehicle and duplicate the concern while testing anyway. There are quite a number of things that can cause the check engine light to come on, from emissions controls, to hybrid operation, to transmission operation to engine performance issues.
